I think I want to set the house on fire?

[Guest powerpuffslau]

I keep thinking that I want to set my house on fire, and then I think so more, and realise I don't want to, I really don't want to. But the thought keeps popping into my head, and the image of peterol burning on my bedroom floor, and me having a lighter. I think maybe if I did it the thought would go away? I'm not sure? I don't want to set my house on fire though, and I'm not going to. But I'm worried I will. I don't know why I want to do this? Does anyone know why that might be? I don't get thoughts to set anything else on fire. Is this part of my OCD (which I got diagnosed with after spending time in a mental health hospital)? Or is it me being bad? Am I evil?

I dont know whats going on for me (((

Sounds like an OCD obsession to me. You get the thought and image of doing it but you don't want to do it. That's OCD.

Try your best not to react to the thoughts. Let them be.
